Prolonged allergen exposure induces structural airway changes in sensitized rats.
The pathogenesis and functional consequences of airway remodeling in asthma remain to be fully established. In the present study we evaluated the effect of prolonged allergen exposure on airway function and structure in rats. Sensitized Brown Norway rats were repeatedly exposed for periods of 2, 4, or 12 wk to aerosolized ovalbumin (OA) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). OA exposure induced a ...
متن کاملInjury in traditional and sport rock climbing.
The objective of this study was to compare patterns of injury found in traditional rock climbing with those found in sport climbing. A questionnaire was administered to rock climbers by mail, in person, and via the World Wide Web. Injuries that occurred while rope-protected climbing on rock were analyzed regarding the anatomical location and the mechanism and activity at the time of injury. Nin...
متن کاملPhysiology of sport rock climbing.
Rock climbing has increased in popularity as both a recreational physical activity and a competitive sport. Climbing is physiologically unique in requiring sustained and intermittent isometric forearm muscle contractions for upward propulsion. The determinants of climbing performance are not clear but may be attributed to trainable variables rather than specific anthropometric characteristics.
متن کاملLeft inferior-parietal lobe activity in perspective tasks: identity statements
We investigate the theory that the left inferior parietal lobe (IPL) is closely associated with tracking potential differences of perspective. Developmental studies find that perspective tasks are mastered at around 4 years of age. Our first study, meta-analyses of brain imaging studies shows that perspective tasks specifically activate a region in the left IPL and precuneus. These tasks includ...
متن کاملFunctional integration of parietal lobe activity in early Alzheimer disease.
OBJECTIVES Parietal lobe dysfunction is an important characteristic of early Alzheimer disease (AD). Functional studies have shown conflicting parietal activation patterns indicative of either compensatory or dysfunctional mechanisms. This study aimed at examining activation differences in early AD using a visuospatial task. We focused on functional characteristics of the parietal lobe and exam...
